Upstate New York Said These Are the Best Ice Cream Toppings

You often see or hear about days like "National Chocolate Ice Cream Day" or "National Ice Cream Sundae Day." These are days that excite the little kid in all of us. When I recently read a survey of 1000 people, can you believe what they said the number one ice cream in Upstate New York is?

Hold on to your sugar cone! It's not chocolate or vanilla, it's not even strawberry. The number one ice cream (according to these 1000 people) is Mint Chocolate Chip, the ice cream in second place is chocolate, then rounding out the top 5 are chocolate chip cookie dough, cookies and cream, and vanilla. But the real ice cream enthusiast knows that it is all about the toppings, so we took our own survey, the favorite toppings survey.

So, what are the favorite ice cream toppings of Upstate New York

If you just want to focus on the syrups first, we'll cover the other toppings in a minute, but if you were to have something that was poured all over your ice cream, what came in as number one? Hot fudge sauce. Classic, right? Then there was Marshmallow crème (yuck!), third was strawberry sauce, and then it was warm caramel or butterscotch. Who's getting hungry?

The most voted for was sprinkles. The battle between the chocolate sprinkles and colored sprinkles were equally tied. Then next on the list was toffee bits, chocolate chips, crushed Oreos, Reese's' pieces, and even gummy bears. Amazingly, all of these toppings made the voting list. There was one vote for sour patch kids, but only one vote.
